DoughnutSat, 08 Jun 2013 06:05:37 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/giants/?p=13079#comment-388326Its times like those that the game plan needs to be crystal clear and if there is any doubt whatsoever then you need to make sure. Obviously a tough spot for Affeldt and this will sting but it happens.

DoughnutSat, 08 Jun 2013 06:01:28 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/giants/?p=13079#comment-388324I am interested what Affeldt has to say as to what he was trying to do with that pitch and what the game plan was for that situation. Was he trying to steal a strike (hard to believe he would) or did he just miss and throw a straight fastball where he shouldn’t have. What did Rags tell him? I am almost over it but wouldn’t mind knowing that. That is if Affeldt isn’t busy throwing chairs in the clubhouse.

I’ve explained this in the past, but I can’t exactly be on top of every comment when I’m in the clubhouse after a game. — Alex

So you’re saying the best time for RI to spew his garbage is the hour after the game?

Lefty, yes, towel thrown faster than the velocity of a wet, whipped tip.

Stanford guy sounds intriguing. Maybe the guy from Notre Dame is a fast riser in the pen. The first two rounders are intriguing b/c they are so young. Maybe the guy from NC becomes a stud. Wouldn’t that be nice in 2018!

The slow progression through the minors is what’s boring about the Giants system. Agosta, like Stratton, was a college pick. Dominating batters 2-3 years younger? ho-hum.

Maybe it will turn out better than I think. I hope so. I just don’t have much patience for the Giants’ “braintrust” that supposedly knows things no one else in the country knows. I understand ranking lists are not sacred, but they’re not pulled out of thin air, either.

When a scouting department picks a guy ranked 99 or 102 on a couple of prominent lists in the #25 spot, well, that makes you wonder. If said scouting department had a stellar track record of finding gold where everyone else missed it, then fine, great. But they don’t. Absent a record of savant-like brilliance, ignoring what the rest of the world thinks because you think you have some unique insight just seems arrogant and stupid to me.
